DC348A

DC348A Introduction
Description
Demonstration circuit DC348 demonstrates the low power LTC1878 monolithic
synchronous regulator in a power supply optimized for cellular phone applications. The
LTC1878 is ideal for this application because of its 550kHz switching frequency, low
quiescent current (power) consumption, and small package size (MSOP). The DC supply
current is typically 10µA at no load and less than 1µA in shutdown. The high switching
frequency allows the use of tiny surface mount components. With an input voltage range
of 2.65V to 6V, the LTC1878 is ideally suited for Lithium-Ion Battery applications.
Quick Start Guide
It is easy to set up DC348 to evaluate the performance of the LTC1878. Please follow the
procedure outlined below for proper operation.
1. Connect the input power supply to the V
IN
and GND terminals. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup.
2. Connect the load between the V
OUT
and GND terminals.
3. To shut down the circuit, connect the RUN/SS pin to ground.
4. For synchronized operation, connect the clock signal between the SYNC and GND
terminals
